Senators are allowed to take outside employment, sometimes as directors of companies or with law firms, but they are forbidden from trading on their public position for personal gain. The Conflict of Interest Code for Senators, which was adopted in May, 2005, states that they “may not act in any way to further their private interests, or those of their family, or to improperly further another person's or entity's private interests when performing parliamentary duties and functions.”

The Criminal Code also prohibits someone from using public office for personal gain.

In his affidavit, Cpl. Duggan highlighted Mr. Harb's alleged private use of a Government of Canada Special Passport – something only senators and MPs carrying out official overseas functions are entitled to – for at least two of his trips to Bangladesh, one in October, 2005 and one in April, 2006. He concludes that it was a “misuse of a public document issued to [him] solely for official travel.” The Mountie also concludes that Mr. Harb's “lobbying efforts on behalf of a corporation which allegedly used bribes to secure advantages in its business prejudiced Canada's interests for the benefit of a corporation engaged in unlawful behaviour.”
